Adventures of Superman: Rucka will resolve the issue of Lois’ shooting, something he has planned from the beginning. He notes that “Sacrifice” is related to it as well. He will also bring back Ruin, the villain that has been plaguing superman in this book. Ruin was recently revealed to be Superman’s childhood friend, former president Pete Ross. He will also revolve the Mxyztplk story, which was pushed back due to “Sacrifice.”
Superman: Superboy visits in issue #220, dealing with what recently happened in the Teen Titans/Outsiders crossover. John Henry Irons and the Eradicator also return. The following issue is a light-hearted one featuring Bizarro. Verheiden will be exploring the Clark/Lois relationship and will touch on her shooting as well. He noted that Lois is Superman’s connection to Earth, so if they are having problems, that affect how Superman relates to the rest of the planet.
Supergirl: the first three issues feature the Girl of Steel meeting up with Power Girl and the JSA, Superboy and the Teen Titans, and the Outsiders. She may also get a love interest. And Krypto hates her.
Superman/Batman: Loeb will deal with Luthor as he concludes his run on the title. Last seen in Superman/Batman as a crazed supervillain in armor, he is now of course appearing as cool calculating, business-suited self in Villains United and throughout other related DC titles. Loeb will explain the seeming disparity. Whether Luthor knows Superman’s identity and his role in the DCU will also be explored.
More Superman: Look for more Superman projects by next year near the release of the movie, similar to what’s happening to Batman now.
Ties to other media: when asked if or how the comics would reflect the movie or the Smallville TV series, line editor Eddie Berganza that nothing specific would change, though he mentioned how Birthright brought back the idea of Lex and Clark being friends in Smallville, as is reflected in the TV series.
